Welcome to FHFO's Care & Maintenance guide, where we provide essential tips to ensure your outdoor furniture remains in pristine condition for years to come. Our commitment to quality extends beyond the purchase – we want to help you protect and enjoy your investment in outdoor elegance. Follow these care guidelines to preserve the beauty and longevity of your FHFO outdoor furniture.
General Care Tips:
-
Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate over time. Regularly clean your outdoor furniture with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or solvents on your furniture. These can strip away protective coatings and damage the materials.
-
Protective Covers: Consider using protective covers when your furniture is not in use. FHFO offers specially designed covers for various pieces, providing an extra layer of defense against the elements.
-
Cushion Care: If your outdoor furniture includes cushions, follow the care instructions provided. Some cushions are designed for outdoor use and can be easily cleaned, while others may require special attention.
Material-Specific Care:
Teak Furniture:
-
Natural Aging: Teak naturally ages over time, developing a beautiful silver-gray patina. If you prefer to maintain the original golden hue, use teak sealer or oil periodically.
-
Avoid Stains: Wipe away spills promptly to prevent stains. For stubborn stains, use a mixture of water and mild soap, or a teak cleaner recommended by FHFO.
Wicker Furniture:
-
Regular Dusting: Wicker can accumulate dust, especially in intricate weaves. Regularly dust with a soft brush or vacuum using a brush attachment.
-
Deep Cleaning: Periodically, deep clean your wicker furniture with a mild detergent and water solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.
Aluminum Furniture:
-
Powder Coating: FHFO's aluminum furniture often features a powder-coated finish for durability. Clean with a mild detergent and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners that may scratch the coating.
-
Touch-Up Paint: If you notice any scratches or chips in the powder coating, FHFO provides touch-up paint to maintain the appearance of your furniture.
Winter Care:
-
Storage: If possible, store your outdoor furniture indoors during extreme winter conditions. If storage is not feasible, use furniture covers to protect against snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.
-
Elevate Furniture: To prevent damage to legs and bases, consider elevating your furniture slightly off the ground when not in use.
